On behalf of the Star Wars Fans, thank you so much for being patient and taking good care of Chewbacca for us
Chew-bark-a
Lmao he very much resembles chewie!! 😂
By Poodle looks like Chewbacca! He's so handsome and regal. 🤎
Great comment, May the bark be with you 🐶🦴❤️
Okay that's enough 😂😂
Hiding under the tripod is the cutest, most big dog thing I’ve ever seen. They think they’re so small lol
Our newf is such a baby. She will hunker against me when she is scared, despite being almost as big as me.
Lol! Yep! And then there's the little dogs, like my 9lb Pomchi, who think they're huge.. 🤣❤️
@@the.crafty.beauty Miniature attack dogs! 🤣
@ronsamborski6230 lmao!! I know right!!
@@the.crafty.beautymy Bichon Frisé of 18 years was like that, too. Big dog in little dog's body.
So sad when you see dogs bred specifically for looks instead of their general health. Thank you for treating him so well.
No it isn’t sad. They’re all bred for looks now because we don’t work them like they were intended for
@@JohnnySack16 Thats WHY its sad. When you breed animals JUST for looks then you end up with issues like this dog has, or worse. Look at Pugs for example, or Dachshund's. Pugs have respiratory issues because they are bred simply for how smooshed their face is. Dachshund's have issues with their spines because they are bred just for how long they are.
If you breed just for looks, you are breeding unhealthy dogs.
I'm not sure about this particular dog but I'm from Newfoundland and the majority here are bread as working dogs. They have been in service since the 18th century.
@@JohnnySack16 we could still, prioritize their health and breed characteristics even tho we dotn use them for work anymore
@@JohnnySack16Dogs are NOT cats. Cats are specifically bred for looks and purely for looks. I know this I had top bloodline cats in my life and they really are bred for looks even the show cats. Dogs are not bred for looks only. Also some breed association prohibits certain looks in certain breeds as these features are known to be health issues and the dog can be disqualified from a show for having these features.
Thank you for taking care of Mugsy! He is a patient at the clinic I work at and he is just a giant gentle guy!
How is Mugsy doing? Have you seen him since his cut?
How does he look now
Did his fur grow back well?
I love his eyes, he seems such sad, you would like to make him a lot of hugs and kisses. He feels the gentleness. ❤❤❤
I ❤ Big dogs 💖 He looks so diff with all that hair gone . I like him better shaved also. You did a fantastic job ‼️‼️🤩👵🏻👩🌾❣️
Mugsy has the most soul-filled eyes I have ever seen! Thank you for respecting his pain tolerance level.
His eyes melted my heart!!
Poor baby!! He is sweet but suffering too He feels better I am sure~
Mugsy is a beautiful dog! Even tempered and soulful eyes, what a wonderful loving family he must have! 💜✌
Vanessa,
Every time I watch one of your videos I am overwhelmed with how compassionate and loving a person you are. Any person or animal that has the fortune to be in your presence on a regular basis, is truly blessed!
I am 67 years old, and in all these years, I haven't seen many people with as much love and compassion in their hearts, as you have. Thank you for the hope you inspire within me. The world does have spots of brightness in the midst of so much gloom. 💜
His eyes showed a life of suffering, it was sad
"Hey lady. Your couch is walking around your backyard!"...
No S....
"Is your couch running"
"I- don't know what that mea-"
"WELL YOU BETTER GO CATCH IT"
Nice . 🛋️ lol
😂❤
😂😂😂
Thank you for raising awareness to ill-bred dogs and the ways in which they miss the breed’s standards. Ofc - no shame on Mugsy or his family… we are all just learning in our search for conditional canine love ❤️
Breed standards in general encourage ill-bred dogs. The loose skin on Neopolitans and other mastiffs and the myths surrounding them. The squatted nature of many bulldog breeds. Snub noses and bulging eyes from pugs and other terriers. All human induced suffering by people who care more about some ugly, arbitrary standard rather then what's good for the animal.
I think shaving him was the right choice, it will help him feel better in the long run, and he’s still adorable too, I’m glad the owners weren’t upset with you, the dog deserves to feel good in his own skin!
I have never seen a kinder groomer, she even takes in bears for a groom. Such a generous, sweet person.
❤
100%, that's a bear
Lol
Mugsy during the shave was like “wake me up when you need me to roll over” 😂❤️
😂i know 👍
This is absolutely me as a dog lol
More like when you need to roll me over.
I don't think he was going to be much help.
My favorite breeds are almost all giant breeds because most of them act exactly as he did. I just lost my Great Dane in January to cancer but he was so sweet and gentle. I love videos like this because it really shows the temperament. Many people are terrified of big dogs!
Mugsy's moans of pleasure when you scratched him were adorable 😊
Apart from the one time he showed discomfort with the brush. He was so chilled out such a big softy. 😊😊😊❤❤❤
Mugsy has the saddest most soulful eyes. He was well behaved during that back breaking groom
He has Ectropion and may need surgery. Should definitely be seen by a veterinarian.
You mean cherry eye?
In the end, Mugsy looked like a Dr. Suess critter. How adorable!
I was surprised that Vanessa didn’t trim his tail a bit more, just to blend in better with the very short coat that Mugsy now has.
I edited for spelling of his name. 👍🏽
I thought same! A pooch from Whoville! All he needed was a pom pom tail. 🤣
I was surprised how cute he was after the shaving. If I had been unaware of that I would think he was supposed to be like that!
Nice job, he looks great and he probably feels much better.
LOL! I said the same thing, and I promise I did not see your comment until later! It was the way the fur around his paws was growing, like the Lorax or the bears from "Hop on Pop"!
i love how you kept his hair around his head. He looks like a distinguished gentlemen.
Love the Whitney Houston hair lol
What a sweet boy. I wish i had the time to care for a dog. I'm too overwhelmed with 3 young human children and couldn't give any pet what they need, but Mugsy made me want to add to our family so badly.
You will later. They grow up fast.
Mugsy is such a good boy. He just lays there like "Ok Vanessa. Do what you want, I will just lay here". Thank you for not continuing brushing him when he complained that it was starting to hurt him. You always have the utmost respect and concern for your clients.
I appreciated that so much as a groomer. I ALWAYS do my best to save a coat when I can, but sometimes owners just don't understand that when we just have to shave a dog for their comfort that we aren't just being lazy. And then we get bad reviews for "shearing Roscoe like a sheep" 🤦
@@ashhitchner9184 I hate hate hate shaving down, but there are times when it's the only humane thing to do. Mugsy came out of this groom looking adorable and so much more comfortable, so it's all good.
I really appreciate the education about breeding and genetics that you offer, Venessa. It’s so important that folks understand the real impact of irresponsible designer breeding on the animals’ quality of life.
So true, that's the main reason why I watch GwtD myself.
What becomes so sadly problematic is that, while some American Kennel Club (AKC) standards, such as dogs' colors, do very much help assure dogs' health, other aspects of their breeding standards deeply hurt them. Ear and tail cropping, for instance, have been vehemently spoken out against by the American Veterinarian Medical Association (AVMA), the licensing board responsible for licensing veterinarians here in the US, as being incredibly painful and completely medically unnecessary for dogs, and yet the AKC has mandated both, despite the AVMA stepping forward and asking the AKC to please not require either, as they are both such cruel, medically unnecessary procedures. Pugs eyes are required by the AKC to bulge so badly, that it's common for their eyes to fall out of their skulls. Brachycephalic breeds, the ones whose noses are squished into their faces (French Bulldogs are an example of this), suffer such horrific breathing problems that it causes them to have incredible breathing problems for the entirety of their lives. Yet all of this and more is required by the AKC purely for the sake of aesthetics, at great expense to the dogs' health. The AKC sadly has a longstanding history of placing aesthetics before canine health, and then allowing health to be considered only when it does not get in the way of aesthetics, when, for the sake of the dogs, it should be the other way around: health should come first, and aesthetics should come into play only when they will not compromise dogs' health. I really wish that, rather than simply assuming that the AKC always has dogs' best interests at heart when it comes to breeding, people would instead look to veterinarians first and foremost when it comes to dogs' health, rather than simply assume that the AKC always follows what vets have stated is best for the dogs. The sad reality is that the AKC has a longstanding history of ignoring what vets have had to say about what's best for our dogs when it comes to their having the long, healthy lives that they deserve.
@@crow_feather Ethical cropping and docking have no negative effects towards the dog and are part of the standard because they were/are needed in that breeds line of work. Have you ever dealt with a corso with hematomas in his ear from shaking them too much? Or a Doberman with happy tail?
@@leifbug2559 In Europe we have had happily tailed Dobermanns since 2001. There may be dogs that are actually working, or particular individuals who may benefit in some way from cutting off tails or ears, but in general it is not needed. Cropping and docking has been forbidden in the Netherlands sinds 2001 for all breeds. We consider all docking and cropping unethical unless for an individual dog for medical reasons.
@@leifbug2559 The entire licensing board of veterinarians responsible for licensing vets in the US says you're wrong, and that it absolutely has painful and highly adverse effects on dogs. My friend's daughter is a vet, and she's also said that both procedures have ceased being taught in veterinary schools for exactly these reasons. Are you actually claiming that you know more about what's good for dogs than licensed veterinarians?
If you're dealing with happy tail, then take responsibility for your dog, and train him not to wag his tail so hard, rather than chop off an entire limb in what licensed vets have deemed a painful, unethical procedure, simply because you don't want to be responsible enough to train him!
YES! They have difficulty standing for long periods of time! I can’t stand that no one understands this! THANK YOU!!!
what a sweet and handsome boy - thank you for being so nice to him
I can’t imagine the relief that dog must’ve felt after all those mats were gone. Hope he got lots of love and scratches when he got home!
He lost a few pounds too.
Not to mention, probably 20 lbs. of fur!
Given everything coming into the groom, I bet Mugsy feels absolutely amazing. Like taking off a fur jacket in the summer time.
Relief
A fur jacket literally super-glued to your skin at that. :)
I imagine he's at home prancing and running around like a puppy lol
Coats on Great Pyrenees act as a radiator shaving them is detrimental to their overall health making them incapable of regulating body temperature there is a lot of after care needed after shaving and judging from this owner they don't seem capable.
a fur jacket glued to his skin that pulled and hurt when trying to move. Such a relief for him.
I would never cut my long haired dogs, and we lived in vegas. They loved the kiddie pools and shade trees alot though.
Oh Mugsy, what a big precious boy. But I flinched when he let you know enough was enough. 😮❤ I love watching your videos. Thank you for loving them like your own.
I'm so glad you always have the wellness of the dogs in mind! You're incredibly patient and extremely professional with Bugsy! Thank you for giving him back some dignity after this grooming!
I think Muggsy turned out absolutely adorable. I bet he feels infinitely better. Vanessa you're a saint
I think the is my favorite dog she had on her two channels... Tho she did have a very odd husky not long ago who did not sing us the songs of its people's like normal... But Muggsy taken that spot from her...
It's sad the coat had to go but without it you can really see what a powerful, solid doggo Mugsy is. An absolute puppers Unit.
This groomer should of report this poor dog's owners to authority, so they would take away this dog from these horrible people. Let your dog to suffer like this and never groom him for a 5 years is just cruel
@@krasavam1625maybe this dog was already rescued and now with an owner who will take care of him 🤷🏻♀️
I believe it's Mugzzy.
Sad? What's sad is someone paid to have him created and the mess he is in!!
Puppers?! Looks like a fully grown dog
His hair cut on the head in the end is giving ✨
Aww, who can forget Mugsy. He looks so cute with his hair shaven off. It certainly suited him. Thanks for sharing.😊❤
His coat was so matted I didn't realize he had lighter patches of fur. He looks so nice and I bet he feels so much lighter!
As She said was poorly bred, for color, crossed w/ Landseer, a black & white variety of Newfie. In Europe are recognized as different breed.
And probably feels much less itchy! I know it was a shame to shave the coat, but he's still adorable.
Poor pupper nutter. I'm sure he feels so much better. Hope his owners keep up with him as his fur grows back.
@@SouthernBella I would want to find out how he got so matted before throwing someone in jail. If they have problems keeping up with his needs, finding someone who can take care of him would be a thought. But jailing them would just result the dog going into a shelter and that'd likely result in as bad if not worse care.
@@SouthernBella reminder that the owners traveled 12 hours to get this done and like she said the fur was not that of a usual newfoundlander and was more prone to matting. Someone who didn't care wouldn't be on this channel.
@@definitelynotnick2454exactly! Travelling 12 hours to help your dog shoes they care. They probably were just too overwhelmed with his fur upkeep and he’s a very well behaved dog so he was brought up well.
@@pigglepuggledid you not notice his condition at the beginning? Those ppl shouldn't own a pet they can't care for.
@@leeleescrapsshoes
“We always try first before we resort to shaving” - I wish pet parents would realize this!!! Having to explain how painful, time intensive, damaging, and overall cruel brush outs can be (and sometimes impossible!!!) while the pet parent acts like we’re not even trying… after you’ve spent an hour or more attempting to save the coat… so frustrating. I love that you showcase the industry in such an honest light!!! Love you and your videos, you inspired me to become a groomer and I’m going on two years now and still learn so much from you!!!
What a good boy. And I have to say, you always refrain from criticising the owners. I'm sure he feels so much better now!!
A gentle dog getting ready to bite is like the quiet kid in class speaking up, you pay attention. Great dog overall, very cute and fluffy :D
Mugsy absolutely does not have an aggressive bone in his body. What a sweetheart! I swear in that one shot he looked right at her and knew she was caring for him specially. "Oh, you did that for me?-That is new, and this is nice."
there are very very few newfies that are mean
He was super sweet to just lay down to get groomed🥰
OMG I AM IN LOVE WITH MUGSY! My cousin had two NF's they are SO SWEET! Mugsy is so sweet and such a good fella!!!!
Mugsy has the most adorable facial expressions and such a gentle dog. Beautiful.
Mugs the rug ❤️❤️❤️
You can see the gratitude in his eyes after you took that first mat out, he understood you were helping him
Fascinating! I.hadn't realized what.expertise is required for.double coated dogs. Its hard to believe all groomers have this level of care amd.expertise.
Poor Mugsy... He looks like a sweetheart, and it's just so awful how his coat looked when he came in.
As "depressing" as it is to see such an amazing coat not able to be saved, I'm betting Mugsy felt pretty amazing afterwards!
im just pissed she doesnt care about the animals. The owners had enough money to travel that far, but not enough to buy a dog brush? They shouldnt get to keep him :(
@@hospitalcakewalkthe breeding is disgraceful,also why travel 12 hours if his owner could shave him at home?…this tells me they wanted to keep his coat as a status symbol ,humans can be selfish pigs
@@leadbelly1495 EXACTLY!!!! That's what I'm saying. And she still didn't give any fucks and gave the dog back to its abusers. It's sick.
@@leadbelly1495 i forget youtube comments are filled with people assuming shit.
Have some thought to what u said. Her job is to groom the dogs not to act on their behalf. If she does that she would be out of business. I get what you are saying but she has choose to ignore these things.@@hospitalcakewalk
No matter how you look at it, you made the right call. I can't imagine this dog feeling good with all that heavily matted coat.
Our Newf, Molly, had her coat raked out three or four times a year. The four or five hours I spent grooming Molly were gentle, fun times. We talked alot, and it was time well spent. For the last five of her years, I shaved off her coat at the beginning of June - our hot time in Alberta. She appreciated the coolness, and didn't sink or suffer when she went swimming. Her coat grew back by October, and by then it needed to be raked out and she given an nice bath. If it weren't for the coat, I'd get another Newf in a heart beat. That the owners of this Newf let his coat get so wretchedly matted speaks to a degree of laziness bordering on neglect. Step up and look after your dog, he can't brush out his coat by himself. Either that or give him to a family that will give him proper love and attention.
I know she was gorgeous. 😊
Exactly, people usually get dogs and think "oh its a dog, it needs food, water, a toy and a brush". Nope. Every breed has different needs and its expected the owner caters to them
potentially, they had just adopted him from a shelter. they drove 12 hours to find a groomer that would try to save the coat; that sounds like the opposite of neglect.
the only information we're given about him is that he shows signs of being poorly bred specifically for his non-standard color
Thank you for doing this life saving work. Matting is painful and can cut off their circulation. Your amazing.
I know it's not ideal to shave double coats, but he looked absolutely fabulous when he was finished. 😍 I laughed so much when you were grooming him on the floor....it looked like you were brushing a hearth rug. What a handsome, gentle soul Mugsy is. Well done & I hope your back recovers soon.
there is a channel in my feed where the woman shears sheep and llamas. I thought of that immediately 😂
I'm not sure whether it's just my imagination, but I thought that Mugsy was walking a lot more easily and confidently after shaving - it looked like he was tripping over his fur when he arrived. Well done.
U probably correct. If those gigantic matts are under his 'armpits' and between his legs, I wouldn't be surprised if walking was painful..
Agreed. He looked like he was able walk much more comfortably than before he was shaved.
All them matts had to be effecting his movement as his coat was just about one giant matts... I have natural curly hair and hate getting one... I can not think what it would be like to be fully covered in them hair knots.. He did seam to think even getting shaved off that it was a improvement.
I rescued a discarded Persian at my Apartment complex. Imagine the same matting iss ues. So bad the Vet said it was pulling on his skin, causing pain and movement issues. He was the best boy as he was helped, so calm. Had to shave him down and he got the prettiest sweater (It was in Colorado). A sweet elderly lady adopted him and he had a better life. I hate that some cruel people leave their pets behind at residences, it's wrong and lazy. @@jonathanbair523
Mugsy is the sweetest boy!!! what a gentle, patient, friendly canine soul❤❤
and hiding under the tripod was beyond adorable and funny😁
I have now watched several of your videos, and you are just unbelievable with these wonderful animals!
Your patience and understanding of dog behavior is a real asset in your work, and awareness of their breed characteristics adds to your ability.
❤ your dedication!
Poor Mugsy he must have felt miserable in that matted dirty coat. He is a gentle big soul, bless him.
What a sweet, gentle boy Mugsy is 🥹🥰💕
I like your videos because you make the dogs feel better afterwards. The dog does not care about his fur. It's the damn owners.
I love your professionalism and knowledge, which drives the decisions that you have to make. What a very beautiful dog.
If they bred him for all the worst reasons at least they seem to have gotten a sweet personality. Great name. Such a brave groomer!
This before and after is stunning! It’s so kind of you how you groomed him. 12 hours driving to get to you, his parents must have been really, really concerned! I love that you always decide for the dog. Please keep your back safe, too!
If they were, I can't quite see why they waited for so long to get him groomed.
@@henrikw377its possible because hes so big and because his coat colour is known to be difficult that he was rejected by other groomers. his owners could have hit financially hard times and not be able to afford this groom anywhere else. vanessa provides grooms like these for free for people in hardship so i wouldnt be so quick to judge.
@@henrikw377 As Vanessa said, Mugsy has a difficult coat to work with. Probably, the owners don't have required instruments or enough expertise to deal with it. Also I bet that all other groomers declined Mugsy as their client due to his size and coat (can't blame them). I'm sure that this shaved coat will be significantly easier to handle for owners from now on.
So please don't judge the owners. If somebody should be blamed here it's irresponsible breeders.
@@WisdomOfWombats-xr3zj Very well said! We don’t know all the background information about the owner - which is their privacy. And a mixed coat can be incredibly difficult to maintain. Especially with his size.
I myself as a dog mom am very lucky to have an amazing dog groomer who has been grooming my 21 year old Chinese crested powderpuff fur the last 14 years and my 9 year old standard poodle her whole life
You are such an amazing groomer and I love watching your videos
Mugsy is so so cute he rocks the shave down look ❤❤
Beautiful coat of fur. Shows what good diet snd loving care can do.
Mugsy was so tolerant. Even though he was shaved you got him looking and feeling his best.
During a vacation, I had a chance to visit a Newfoundland breeder *in* Newfoundland. The dogs were being raised in the environment they were bred for, and swam in the ocean or river weekly. Salt water would 'bleach' their coats to a reddish colour in places. Such amazing temperament.
Wow…. I don’t even own a dog and I love your videos. You sure helped Mugsy live a more happy life. You’re doing great work!
Tsh. I don't own a bike, but I still like watching Tour de France. Smfh at some comments.
He’s a fine looking dog with or without his long hair & probably will feel better having it short.
Mugsy is very patient, really a nice doggo. He’s probably a dream to live with, and shouldn’t be hard to brush out if he’s not matted. Hope his owners start to brush him regularly.
He's the victim of animal abuse. No excuse from the owners.
@@robinminn271 - slow your roll on making judgements; you don't know the whole story. He may have come to them like that, and she did say they have been trying to find someone to help.
@@RandomFandomDragon I hate animal abuse. I stand by my opinion.
@@robinminn271you must have no idea how difficult it is to maintain a coat like this- i brushed my late dog everynght and he still would mate- after laying anywhere damp, walking in tall grass in the morning, playing with other dogs and getting drool on him, sitting in his water bowl, walking two seconds in the snow etc its a nightmare and i had to keep him shaved for the last 3 years of his life because he no longer tolerated daily grooming. All my animals are short hair now.
@@1hanagima This looked more like long-term neglect rather than "I've been trying but just can't keep up." He was matted and filthy judging by the color change before and after.
As someone who’s had many Newfoundlands it’s heartbreaking to hear about the poor breeding. I’m still going to hope that Mugsy is well loved and cared for in the best way possible. I have rescued two newfs because of the lack of care that was given to them. I know these times are hard on people and with the prices of food for humans and dog food and can’t forget vet bills. I would help any newf at anytime and anywhere. Thank you for giving this angel a new well deserved new look!
hes not... that's literally why hes there? Look at him.. wtf.
@@hospitalcakewalk I’m not here to argue with you but do you know all the facts of this dog? I didn’t think so. Take a breath and whatever I mentioned in my comment I apologize to you. This was not meant to offend anyone especially to how angry you seem.
Have a nice weekend.
@@jamesfrommanitoba.1992 Dogs don't get severely matted overnight.
@@hospitalcakewalk The groomer literally said he was badly bred tho, and sure it must've been hard to try to take care of his unusual coat, but the owners let him get this bad. a dog's coat doesn't get like that in a few weeks...
@doo1819 That's exactly what I'm saying. This is severe neglect and she doesn't care. She gave the dog back :( who could look at this and just be like 'here, do it again.' :(
What a good boy Mugsy! You did a great job on him! So kind and caring!
What a sweetheart!! He looked amazing when you finished and he has to feel soo much better!!❤️❤️ You have the patience of Job!!🥰
Your patience with huge dogs especially double-coated ones is really commendable, my dog is less than half the size but it still takes me about two hours to bathe him.
Thank you for pointing out the consequences of poor breeding vs. bred for health. I myself have met a GSD with rear end issues at the ripe old age of _two years old_ thanks to people just assuming that "purebred" means anything without health testing.
I like the shaved coat. He looks so much more comfortable. Handsome boy.
His coat does look very cottony. Sweet soul, he felt so much better after your care.
Mugsy was so sweet and didn't seem to have bad skin issues even with so much matting. He must have felt so much better after being shaved. I chuckled when you said, "today's groom is powered by Starbucks." Hope you got a good rest after.
the hair you were able to keep around his head and his facial expression is too cute and funny 🤣🤣
I hope he lives a looong happy loving Matt free life
Thank you for bringing up Color Dilution Alopecia! I never hear CDA brought up by groomers.
Oh my, I have two newfoundlands and I can only imagine how uncomfortable it must have been for Mugsy with those matts, and also knowing how delicate newf boys are. I hope that his owners are going to keep up with grooming after this shave ❤ You are an awesome person ❤
They wont
@@t9t9t9t9t9there's a chance considering they had to drive 12hrs
The owners should really understand a Newfoundlander means daily care for the coat. I've never needed a shave, this video was hard to watch.
What a beautiful dog.
Это было правильное решение. Шерсть обновится. А песелю радостно отдохнуть от сбившейся шерсти. Смешная собачка❤
Mugsy just knew you'd make him feel 2000% better. What a sweet darling boy!
I hope this poor boy never has to go through this again. Getting to the point where you snap when you’re a newfie is absolutely insane. He’s such a good boy and I’m so happy he got all his matting off!
❤ You did a great job! Bet he feels so much better without the mats pulling his skin.
Must be such a relief for him! (Which should be the owners first priority)
What a sweet and patient boy. I feel so bad for him that he was that matted, but I hope the owners will brush him regularly to avoid the mats. He's so very tolerant and I think he'd be down to be brushed every day. After everything he went through, Mugsy deserves a big steak and belly rubs ❤️❤️
What a cutie...i believe that his behaviour absolutely shows that his owners care about him and give him lots of attention.
They went out of their way to get him groomed and there can be so many reasons why a dogs coat gets in a bad shape.
I wish the dog and his owners a very loving future!
He is such a good boy 🙏 he has such a nice temper ❤
Lovely big boy, looks amazing when clipped.
I’m sorry I can’t do more as a single mom of three but I love your videos and what you do to help people and animals
You should not feel apologetic for your selfless donation.
Thank you for putting health before aesthetics. ❤❤❤ It's a bummer to shave a gorgeous coat but it's not *sad* if the doggo is happier & healthier. We've hit the danger zone with our society's aesthetic obsession & it seems to no longer be commonsense.
It's not "aesthetics" to not want to shave a double. They're an important part of the dog--keeping them cool in the summer, warm in the winter. Keeping the sun and rain off their skin. Keeping them unshaved (ideally) keeps the coat growing in correctly. It is sad, esp b/c it's clear this dog was bred out of a stupid desire to make a "different" color rather than breed a good, functional Newfoundland. The owners were right to *try* to keep the coat even though it was poor, but it was beyond saving and now the dog will probably need extra care and protection from the elements.
I love his face so gentle looking. Vanessa you did a great job considering the condition of his coat. He has to feel better without all the matted fur.❤❤❤❤
@@stellangios you misunderstood he was bred for looks therefore ruining his cost
You are an amazing person. I’m in tears why I don’t know.
Throught the shaving process I kept thinking to myself, " I hope he can keep his crazy hair!" So happy he got to keep it. He is so adorable
His look after that first clump being shaved and then having a scratch……he was in love with you. 😂
I can only imagine how much better Mugsy must have felt getting all that matted coat off. You really are a miracle worker even if the grooms don’t always turn out the way you would like.
HE LOOKS WONDERFUL....GREAT JOB
What a sweet dog! He has the most adorable expressions.
This is why youre my FAVORITE groomer by FAR. If I lived in Canada, I would go to you with no second questions.
Absolutely.
SAME!

I used to live in Newfoundland and so glad to see them on your channel! They are so big but so sweet and gentle with people.
Those eyes melt your heart. Such a goof boi ❤
Definitely the kindest option for him. Much easier to maintain and he can be groomed quicker next time and reduce the time he needs to stand. Such a lovely boy ❤
It's always amazing to see those gigantics paws side by side with your hands.
Mugsy had “Grinch feet” for sure! Size XL Grinch feet. 🐾

Mugsy has the most adorable and expressive face! His eyes when you were talking to him at 5:38 said it all! What an awesome job Vanessa! Mugsy's end result reminded me a New Wave Haircut! 😂♥👍
